Srilankan-based Silicone Coatings (Pvt) Ltd., through its Nippolac Paints business, has introduced a new product to the Sri Lankan paint industry with the launch of Nippolac Pearl Paint. Nippolac Pearl Paint is a ready-to-use, water-based, satin, acrylic, designer decorative interior paint. The key feature of Nippolac Pearl Paint, according to the company, is that the product reveals a sparkling Pearl finish on the surfaces it is applied on.

Raja Hewabowala, managing director of the Nippolac Group of Companies,said this latest innovation to the market is to give the Sri Lankan consumers an extraordinary experience in decorating their homes with an elegant, sparkling Pearl finish paint. He further stated that Nippolac Pearl Paint, which is available in 35 colors could be used to enhance the color of a regular interior emulsion paint by applying Nippolac Pearl Paint on top of the previously painted emulsion paint which can now be used as a basecoat. Moreover, this product can be used on wood finishes, plaster of Paris and clay accessories which are growing industries. Nippolac Pearl Paint will be initially made available through Nippolac 'Colour Master' dealers (Colour Mixing Centres) in Colombo and the suburbs.
